That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

Walking Through Heartbreak, Holding Onto Hope with Kate Edwards- Episode 1002


Listen Later

So many of us have walked through unexpected seasons of grief and loss. When those seasons hit, it feels impossible to know how to put one foot in front of the other or we don’t know how to best support our friends through it. Today we answer, “What do I do when my season suddenly shifts?”

Kate and I met a couple of months ago when I was on the road for a speaking event. She has walked through the tragic death of her adult son and has SO generously agreed to share with us what she wished someone had shared with her when that pain was fresh. Whether you’ve dealt with a similar situation or you’re close to someone who has, I encourage you to lean in to the perspective and encouragement Kate shares with us about what it looks like to honor and grieve and keep living and keep loving even when we don’t think we have it in us.

If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 92 (*we moved this date*). The guidebook is available for you at anniefdowns.com/seasons.
